Papers are published within an academic pretense. So you also have to account for the brown nosing and sucking up to authority. You pay tuition, but you don’t get your degree without conforming your behavior to the expectations of faculty, and the institutional demands to publish words that seem like a readable corpus of text. This goes up the chain, as the expectation pervades a normative culture. Academia eats Prestigious Institutions. Institutions eat Departments. Chair of Department eats Professors. Professors eat Students. Students photosynthesize Words pleasing to the ears of their parasitic herbivores. You are what you eat.
